Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to nebulizers and more particularly, to an aromatic nebulizing diffuser, which creates enhanced decorative and visual effects of aroma diffusion, and facilitates general maintenance and cleaning activities.

2. Description of the Related Art

With fast economic development and technological advancement and the rise of human civilization, there is a growing emphasis on the level of material and spiritual life, and having a good living environment has become the goal of people actively want to pursue. Further, air conditioners, air purifiers, fragrances, electric jasmines, aromatic nebulizing diffusers, perfume dispensers are intensively used in offices, rooms, cars, and many other living environments to eliminate bad smells and stale air, improving the work efficiency and mental health. Further, many new designs of aromatic nebulizing diffusers and perfume dispensers have been continuously created and have appeared on the market.

However, commercial aromatic nebulizing diffusers and perfume dispensers commonly have the following drawbacks:

  • 1. Because the air guide conduct is mounted in the mist creation block member for guiding outside air into the mist creation block member, its size is limited, lowering the effect of pressurizing the intake flow of air. Further, the presence of the air guide conduct in the mist creation block member gives resistance to the intake flow of air, lowering the aroma diffusing effect, complicating the manufacturing process and increasing the manufacturing cost.
  • 2. After a long use of an aromatic nebulizing diffuser or perfume dispenser, the internal components may be covered with oil stains. However, the complicated component mounting structure of a conventional aromatic nebulizing diffuser or perfume dispenser does not facilitate general maintenance and cleaning activities.
  • 3. Because there is no any spare storage means adapted to give supply of an aromatic fluid or essential oil to the mist creation block member, the mist creation block member must be maximized to hold a large amount of aromatic fluid or essential oil, and the oscillator needs to oscillate a large amount of aromatic fluid or essential oil in the mist creation block member into a mist of aromatic fluid droplets, lowering the aroma diffusing effect.
  • 4. During oscillation of the oscillator to oscillate the aromatic fluid or essential oil into a mist of aromatic fluid droplets, the contained aromatic fluid or essential oil may be partially forced out of the mist creation block member, causing aromatic fluid/essential oil loss or contaminating the outer surfaces of the aromatic nebulizing diffuser or perfume dispenser. Further, the splashed fluid can hinder the flowing of the created mist of aromatic fluid droplets, lowering the aroma diffusing effect.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide an aromatic nebulizing diffuser, which eliminates the aforesaid drawbacks.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, an aromatic nebulizing diffuser in accordance with the present invention is shown. The aromatic nebulizing diffuser comprises a bottom holder shell 10, an electric fan 20, a mist creation block member 30, an oscillator 40, an oscillator circuit board 50, a power supply unit 60, and a top cover shell assembly 70. The mist creation block member 30 is designed to provide an oscillation chamber and flow guide means to facilitate intake of air and to enhance the nebulizing effect. The coupling structure between the bottom holder shell 10 and the top cover shell assembly 70 facilitates mounting and dismounting and general maintenance and cleaning activities. The top cover shell assembly 70 is capable of storing an extra amount of aromatic fluid for making a refill, and can prevent splashing and nozzle hole blockage.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 7, and FIGS. 2 and 3 again, the bottom holder shell 10 comprises an accommodation open chamber 11, a plurality of air vents 12 located on the bottom side thereof in communication between the accommodation open chamber 11 and the atmosphere for taking in outside air, a plurality of columns 13 and a step 14 disposed inside the accommodation open chamber 11, and a plurality of foot members 15 fixedly mounted at the bottom side thereof and respectively equipped with a rubber pad 151 for supporting the bottom holder shell 10 stably on a flat surface. Referring to FIGS. 3, 4 and 7 again, the electric fan 20 is mounted in the accommodation open chamber 11 and operable to suck outside air through the air vents 12 into the inside of the accommodation open chamber 11.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIGS. 2-4 again, the mist creation block member 30 is an one-piece member (for example, made out of a plastic material by injection molding) fixedly fastened to the columns 13 of the bottom holder shell 10 by fastening members, for example, screws 32, defining therein an oscillation chamber 31 where an aromatic fluid (for example, a mixture of an essential oil and water) can be oscillated into a mist of aromatic fluid droplets, and a bottom through hole 311 cut through the bottom wall thereof in communication between the oscillation chamber 31 and the accommodation open chamber 11. Decorative plugs 321 are fastened to the top wall of the mist creation block member 30 in a flush manner to keep the screws 32 from sight. Further, a water seal ring 33 is squeezed in between the mist creation block member 30 and the step 14 of the bottom holder shell 10 to seal the accommodation open chamber 11. Further, a semispherical air guide 34 is mounted in a top side of the mist creation block member 30, defining an air hole 341 in communication with the accommodation open chamber 11. The mist creation block member 30 further comprises a top flange 35 protruded from the top wall thereof and extending around the semispherical air guide 34, and a notch 351 formed in the top flange 35 and facing toward the oscillation chamber 31. The semispherical air guide 34, the top flange 35 and the notch 351 form an air guide structure for guiding currents of air induced by the electric fan 20 into the oscillation chamber 31 and a nozzle hole 712 of the top cover shell assembly 70.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 7 again, the oscillator 40 is mounted within a gasket ring 41 in the bottom through hole 311 of the mist creation block member 30, and then a locating plate 42 is affixed to the bottom side of the mist creation block member 30 to seal the bottom through hole 311 and to hold the oscillator 40 in the bottom through hole 314 within the gasket ring 41. Thus, the oscillator 40 can be operated to oscillate an aromatic fluid in the oscillation chamber 31 into a mist of aromatic fluid droplets.

The oscillator circuit board 50 is mounted in the accommodation open chamber 11 and electrically coupled with the oscillator 40 for driving the oscillator 40 to oscillate an aromatic fluid in the oscillation chamber 31 into a mist of aerosol droplets.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4 and 7 again, the power supply unit 60 is mounted in the accommodation open chamber 11 and electrically connected to the electric fan 20, the oscillator 40 and the oscillator circuit board 50. Preferably, the bottom holder shell 10 is equipped with a port for enabling an external power plug 61 to be connected to the power supply unit 60 to provide an external power supply to the electric fan 20, the oscillator 40 and the oscillator circuit board 50.

Referring to FIG. 6 and FIGS. 2-5 again, the top cover shell assembly 70 is covered on the top side of the bottom holder shell 10 to shield the mist creation block member 30, comprising an upper cover shell 71, a lower cover shell 72. The upper cover shell 71 comprises a top guide tube 711 and a nozzle hole 712. The lower cover shell 72 comprises a bottom guide tube 721 defining therein an air passage hole 7211. The nozzle hole 712, the top guide tube 711, the bottom guide tube 721 and the oscillation chamber 31 are kept in communication with one another, providing a passage for guiding the created mist of aromatic fluid droplets from the oscillation chamber 31 to the atmosphere.

The lower cover shell 72 has its bottom surface abutted against the top flange 35 so that a side-open air guide chamber is defined between the semispherical air guide 34 and the top flange 35. Further, the air passage hole 7211 of the lower cover shell 721 is kept in communication with the notch 351 in the top flange 35 so that the fan-induced currents of air can go through the air hole 341, the notch 351 in the top flange 35 and the air passage hole 7211 of the bottom guide tube 721 into the oscillation chamber 31 and the nozzle hole 712.

The upper cover shell 71 defines a rounded recess 713 at the top wall thereof around the nozzle hole 712 for enabling the ejected mist of aromatic fluid droplets to be widely diffused into the outside open air, enhancing the decorative and visual effects of aroma diffusion.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, the cover shell assembly 70 is configured to fit the bottom holder shell 10, exhibiting the shape of a flower bud and enhancing the decorative and visual effects of aroma diffusion.

Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 7 again, the invention further comprises a functional keypad 80 mounted in the accommodation open chamber 11 of the bottom holder shell 10. The functional keypad 80 comprises a circuit board 81 electrically coupled to the oscillator 40, the oscillator circuit board 50 and the power supply unit 60, and a plurality of key switches 82 electrically connected to the circuit board 81 for situational lighting options, time setting, power control and other related functional controls. The bottom holder shell 10 has means, for example, holes for accommodating the key switches 82.

Referring to FIGS. 3-5 again, after understanding of the component parts of the aromatic nebulizing diffuser and their positioning, the operation and features of the aromatic nebulizing diffuser will now be outlined hereinafter. At first, the user needs to fill an aromatic fluid (for example, an essential oil and water mixture) into the oscillation chamber 31 of the mist creation block member 30. Thereafter, the user can turn on the oscillator 40 and the electric fan 20, causing the oscillator 40 to oscillate the aromatic fluid into a mist of aromatic fluid droplets and the electric fan 20 to suck outside air through the air vent 12 of the bottom holder shell 10 and the air hole 341 of the semispherical air guide 34 into the side-open air guide chamber between the semispherical air guide 34 and the top flange 35 and then into the oscillation chamber 31 via the notch 351 to further carrying the created mist of aromatic fluid droplets out of the top cover shell assembly 70 into the outside open air via the nozzle hole 712.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 again, the coupling structure between the bottom holder shell 10 and the cover shell assembly 70 facilitates general maintenance and cleaning activities. The lower cover shell 72 of the top cover shell assembly 70 comprises a bottom coupling flange 722 of outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the top rim of the bottom holder shell 10. Thus, the bottom coupling flange 722 of the top cover shell assembly 70 can be directly and detachably press-fitted into the top rim of the bottom holder shell 10.

Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9 and FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 6 again, a fluid storage chamber 73 is defined within the cover shell assembly 70 between the upper cover shell 71 and the lower cover shell 72 around the top guide tube 711 for storing a fluid, for example, water.

The lower cover shell 72 further comprises a locating hole 723, and a water valve 90 mounted in the locating hole 723 switchable between an open position and a close position to control the supply of the storage fluid from the fluid storage chamber 73 to the oscillation chamber 31.

Subject to the design of the semispherical air guide 34 and top flange 35 of the mist creation block member 30 to provide a passage for enabling the electric fan 20 to induce currents of air into the oscillation chamber 31, it is not necessary to provide any extra air guide means in the oscillation chamber 31, and supplying air to the oscillation chamber 31 will not encounter any resistance. Further, using the fluid storage chamber 73 to supply water to the oscillation chamber 31, the volume of the oscillation chamber 31 can be minimized. During application, it simply needs to apply a small amount of water and essential oil to the oscillation chamber 31 for quick oscillation, enhancing aroma diffusion efficiency and effects.

The water valve 90 comprises a valve block 91, a valve stem 92, a rubber flap 93 and a spring 94. The valve block 91 is a hollow member thread-connected to the locating hole 723 of the lower cover shell 72. The valve stem 92 is movably inserted into the valve block 91. The spring 94 is mounted on the valve stem 92 and stopped between one end of the valve stem 92 and an inside part of the valve block 91. The rubber flap 93 is closely attached to the top open side of the valve block 91 to prohibit flowing of the storage fluid out of the fluid storage chamber 73 through the valve block 91.

Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 9, the oscillation chamber 31 further comprises a protrusion 312. After connection between the cover shell assembly 70 and the bottom holder shell 10, the valve step 92 of the water valve 90 is stopped against the protrusion 312 to lift the rubber flap 93 away from the top open side of the valve block 91, allowing the fluid to flow from the fluid storage chamber 73 to the oscillation chamber 31. On the contrary, after separation between the protrusion 312 and the water valve 90, the water valve 90 is closed, stopping the supply of the fluid from the fluid storage chamber 73.

Thus, when the fluid in the oscillation chamber 31 reaches a predetermined high level, the valve block 91 is closed, the fluid communication between the fluid storage chamber 73 and the water valve 90 is interrupted, and the storage fluid in the fluid storage chamber 73 cannot be guided into the oscillation chamber 31. On the contrary, when the aromatic fluid level drops due to working of nebulizing diffusion in the oscillation chamber 31, the aromatic fluid does not block the valve block 91, and the storage fluid is guided out of the fluid storage chamber 73 into the oscillation chamber 31 again. Thus, the above fluid refilling action is repeated again and again, improving the drawbacks of prior art designs that cannot give a refill to the oscillation chamber.

Further, because the cover shell assembly 70 can store a liquid, a relatively smaller oscillation chamber 31 can be used to hold an aromatic fluid (mixture of water and essential oil). Further, because the volume of the oscillation chamber 31 is smaller than the volume of the fluid storage chamber 73, the oscillator 40 can oscillate the aromatic fluid in the oscillation chamber 31 into a mist of aromatic fluid droplets efficiently and rapidly, shortening the waiting time. In order to get a better nebulizing diffusion performance, the volume of the oscillation chamber 31 must be smaller than the fluid storage chamber 73.

Referring to FIGS. 3-6 again, the cover shell assembly 70 further comprises a water stopper 74 mounted in the top guide tube 711. The water stopper 74 comprises a ring-shaped member 741 fixedly mounted in the top guide tube 711, a rib rack 742 fixedly mounted in the ring-shaped member 741, a plurality of open spaces 744 defined in the rib rack 742, and a smoothly arched baffle plate 743 connected to the rib rack 742 and suspending below the ring-shaped member 741.

Thus, the water stopper 74 can prevent the aromatic fluid from splashing out of the oscillation chamber 31 to block the nozzle hole 712, allowing the created mist of aromatic fluid droplets to fly through the open spaces 744 in the top guide tube 711 and the nozzle hole 712 to the outside open air.

Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
